With its 110 km², it is one of the country's largest hiking sites located in the Suomussalmi region near the Russian border, northeast of Kajaani. For lovers of fishing and hiking: marked trails, rock paintings, mills... You can also rent canoes and kayaks, bicycles, fishing equipment... You can even dive in the clear waters up to 40 m deep. Go to the visitors' centre to get all the necessary information (maps, rentals, activities, events...)

Scientific centre with exhibitions regularly organized on different themes. Interactive, pedagogical and fun to initiate or deepen your knowledge of science and technology. Simulations to be made in music and sports, exhibition on stones, astronomy ... The museum completes its permanent exhibitions with temporary exhibitions such as those on minerals. Nice viewpoint from the water tower. A nice family outing!

If you've always dreamed of observing Finland's (and indeed Scandinavia's) majestic animals in perfect conditions, then look no further than the Bear Center! With 17 specially equipped private huts, contemplating bears and other wolverines is child's play. Even better, if you want to photograph them in perfect conditions, that's possible too! Various activities are offered throughout the year. In short, highly recommended!
